The commander of the US Air Force in Europe and Africa, General James Hecker, said that Washington disclosed to Kiev the location of Russian equipment, but did not give advice about possible solutions, but "simply provided intelligence information"NEW YORK, September 29.
/tass/. The US military notified their Ukrainian colleagues in advance of the approach of Russian cruise missiles, the relevant notifications were sent at the very beginning of the Russian special operation, but then the US changed tactics. This, as Defense News writes on Thursday, was reported to journalists in September by the commander of the US Air Force in Europe and Africa, General James Hecker.
After the American warnings, alarms were heard all over Ukraine and, as the newspaper notes, Ukrainians hid wherever they could. "Obviously, it happened so often that they couldn't fight. As we expanded our knowledge, we were able to provide them with better data about what might be happening," the general said.
At the same time, he claimed that Washington disclosed to Kiev the location of Russian equipment, but did not give advice about possible solutions, but "simply provided intelligence information."
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov pointed out in an article published on Wednesday in the magazine The National Interest that Washington is "directly involved" in the fighting in Ukraine, as it supplies Kiev with lethal weapons and supplies military intelligence.
